I enjoy the outdoors.

I love superhero movies.

Each Olympics is different.

My first WPS season was a bust.

There is only one club in Manchester.

I think problems... kind of just excite me.

Unfortunately, soccer can be cruel sometime.

I'm very creative, intuitive - I like to entertain.

We really believe that mentorship is a powerful tool.

Lifestyle off the field influences your play on the field.

Our national team is very unique in the way we want to play.

There are just so many parallels between sport and business.

I'd love to see a global competition other than the World Cup.

Being an Olympic athlete doesn't change who you are as a person.

As a soccer player, that's the greatest dream, to win a World Cup.

I'm really pleased with WPS and the quality of players and the teams.

Obviously Manchester United's tradition and history speaks for itself.

I'm a footballer through and through. It's all I've ever wanted to be.

The greatest tip ever told to me is 'Don't be afraid to make mistakes.'

Tactical and technical awareness can only improve and sharpen with time.

Everyone wants to come to Portland to play, whether for us or against us.

I was fortunate enough to grow up in a Christian home and an awesome family.

Manchester United is an exceptional club and I'm thrilled to be joining them.

The most important thing to me is to inspire all these athletes in the next generation.

People don't want to just root for a team anymore. They want to root for something more.

Your teammates see you through the good and the bad. They see where your foundation lies.

It's always an honor and a privilege to play in front of supporters from the club I grew up with.

I think football in general globally has a unique way of uniting people instead of dividing people.

The sport of soccer in general is very combative. People don't realize it's very one-on-one a lot of times.

I think defending is more of, like, a science, and it's fun to learn that. And then I see attacking as an art.

I wasn't put here to win gold medals or national championships. I've been placed here to be a light for Christ.

I think the most effective coaching for youth is to encourage them to try things, to be unique and be different.

Everybody wants to be winners - you have to trust that God has a greater plan for this even when you can't see it.

Defending is easy. You just have to want to defend. It's not like defending is hard. It's just, like, more of an attitude.

I spent my whole life as a soccer player and I've honed every skill, I continue to hone them, you can never be good enough.

We believe that we get so that we can give, and we've been so blessed in the platforms and opportunities that we've been given.

It was almost like I gravitated toward the people who were encouraging me to be like myself and to be creative and be different.

For me it was massive there was interest from Manchester United. To sign for such a club was important to me in my football career.

Our God's going to be victorious. He's the Creator of the universe. I'm just a vessel trying to do my part with what I've been given.

That's the easy part, to continue to do what you love, to focus, to train, there's no extra motivation that needs to be added to that.

I'm extremely blessed with my teammates. They're such an encouragement in my life. I have people praying for me and I'm praying for them as well.

When everybody starts a company, they are so energized and passionate about it. And what happens is that a lot of times maybe that's not sustainable.

The NWSL is a great league. It's so competitive from every single team and every single game. They have the right people and they are invested in it.

I think that's probably one of my favorite things - learning and creating incredible relationships and making mistakes and being responsible for that.

I don't want a perfect life, I don't want an easy life, I want to live life to the fullest. To me that feels like conquering as many things as possible.

I think you have to obviously be familiar with how the team wants to play and play to that style. But I think you also have to find a way to be yourself.

You're able to see situations over and over again and just become comfortable in different decision-making situations. I think that comes with experience.

I remember playing one of our first matches in Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United, and I remember that feeling of just being in that iconic venue.

Similar to the familiarity I've always had with the ball, there's this familiarity that the game has given me over years of understanding it and living it.

I feel like, City, because they're this modern global team, in the United States we think they're a really big club. But here in Manchester, it's not a big club.
